ere are 6 easy and simple play ideas usingcommon house hold items. But why only6 ideas...? The children might or will behome for 2-3 weeks. Children love torepeat their ideas, so do them a few times. Then think about taking it off the table andonto the floor or the wall. These simplechanges will allow for new exploration andbuilding on their skills naturally.. I also intentionally only came up with 6ideas to make it possible for you as well.These are meant to spark their creativityand allow for opportunities for the childrento play with you or alone. Consider designating a play space overthis next while as this will decrease yourstress with their play occurring all over thehouse and allows them to return to it whenready. Have fun with them and adapt theideas to fit with your children and familiesneeds.
